Intravascular papillary endothelial hyperplasia (Masson tumor) is an uncommon benign vascular lesion characterized by a reactive proliferation of endothelial cells. This lesion commonly occurs in the head, neck, and upper extremities. Although it can be found anywhere in the body, the lesion has never affected the heel fat pad. This report presents a rare case of Masson tumor of the heel fat pad to facilitate the recognition of this uncommon lesion and also suggests other conditions to be considered when diagnosing heel lesions...

BACKGROUND: Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a major concern for the postoperative hospitalized patient, especially after long and complex procedures. Cancer itself also contributes to the hypercoagulable state, further complicating the management of patients. Despite prophylaxis, breakthrough events can occur. We aimed to assess our institutional VTE and bleeding rates after free flap reconstruction of the head and neck (H&N) region and the factors associated with VTE events. METHODS: A retrospective review of the patients who underwent H&N free flap reconstruction at an academic center from 2012 to 2021 was performed from a prospectively maintained database...

PURPOSE: The treatment of Fournier's gangrene (FG) includes aggressive debridement of the affected necrotic area, broad-spectrum antibiotic therapy, and reconstructive procedures, respectively. One of the main reasons of unfavorable outcomes in FG surgery is that the dead space occurs in the perianal region because of destruction of fascias and soft tissues. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the results of gracilis muscle flap transposition to fill the FG-associated perianal dead spaces...

BACKGROUND: Neurotized deep inferior epigastic perforator (DIEP) flaps have been shown to improve sensory recovery after mastectomy and reconstruction. With the recent trend toward nipple-sparing mastectomies, sensation likely originates within the buried DIEP flap and then innervates the breast skin. In contrast, for patients undergoing skin-sparing mastectomies, the DIEP flap skin is preserved, brought up to the surface, and directly innervated. In this study, we aim to evaluate inner breast region sensation between patients whose DIEP flap is buried and whose DIEP flap skin is brought to the surface...

BACKGROUND: Prepectoral implant-based breast reconstruction is often supplemented by autologous fat grafting to optimize aesthetic outcomes. This usually entails several rounds of modest fat transfer to minimize risk of necrosis; however, the limits of fat grafting at expander exchange are not known. METHODS: A single-institution retrospective review from July 2016 to February 2022 was performed of all patients who underwent (1) mastectomy, (2) prepectoral tissue expander placement, (3) expander exchange for implant, and (4) at least one round of autologous fat transfer...

BACKGROUND: For Asian rhinoplasty patients with midfacial concavity, the conventional method is to solve the problem by using structural rhinoplasty to increase the nasal height and length. However, the results are not satisfying, and many complications are caused.Paranasal augmentation as an adjunct to rhinoplasty can improve surgical results and increase satisfaction. However, there are limited studies focusing on the details and evaluation of this technique. OBJECTIVES: To investigate a minimally invasive method to correct midfacial concavity simultaneously with rhinoplasty, as well as improve satisfaction and reduce complications...

BACKGROUND: Nipple-sparing mastectomy (NSM) is emerging as the standard of care for treatment of breast cancer because of its oncologic safety and superior aesthetic outcomes. However, ischemia or necrosis of the skin flap and/or nipple-areola complex remain frequent complications. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) has emerged as a potential adjunct for flap salvage, although it is not currently a widely accepted practice. Here we review our institution's experience using a protocol of HBOT in patients with signs of flap ischemia or necrosis after NSM...

INTRODUCTION: The necessity of treating hypertrophic burn scars has expanded significantly with increased burn survivorship. Ablative lasers, such as carbon dioxide (CO2) lasers, have been the most common nonoperative option for improving functional outcomes in severe recalcitrant hypertrophic burn scars. However, the overwhelming majority of ablative lasers used for this indication require a combination of systemic analgesia, sedation, and/or general anesthesia due to the painful nature of the procedure...

INTRODUCTION: Pediatric cranial defects can be preceded by prior infection, radiation therapy, failed prior cranioplasty, or cerebrospinal fluid leak, leading to a complex reconstructive environment. The primary aim of this study was to investigate differences in outcomes between pediatric patients with hostile reconstructive environments who received split-calvarial autologous grafts as opposed to prosthetic grafts in cranioplasty. METHODS: We performed an institutional review board-approved retrospective chart review of 51 patients younger than 18 years who underwent cranioplasty with a hostile setting between 1998 and 2020...

BACKGROUND: Secondary blepharoplasty to correct a high crease is considered challenging for most surgeons, especially in patients who show overly excessive removal of eyelid tissue in Asians. Therefore, we define a typical difficult secondary blepharoplasty as when patients present too high eyelid fold with excessive tissue resection and preaponeurotic fat deficiency. This study provides the technique of retro-orbicularis oculi fat (ROOF) transferring and volume augmentation to reconstruct eyelid anatomical structure on the base of a series of difficult secondary blepharoplasty cases in Asians and assess the effectiveness of the method in the meanwhile...

Breast cancer can affect anyone; therefore, it affects people of all gender identities. Reconstructive options after breast cancer must then address the needs of all people. Our institution is unique in its provision of both high-level comprehensive breast and gender affirmation care. In our practice, patients have expressed gender diverse identities during their breast cancer reconstructive journey. In these cases, goals have deviated from traditional breast restoration, gravitating toward gender-affirming mastectomy, or results often seen with "top surgery...
